| Abstract | ||
| Nickel-Aluminum Bronze (NAB) alloys have properties meet many requirements in engineering applications. But many, especially the alloy C63200 suffer weakness in machining properties, so the current study aims at improvement the machineability of this alloy without loss their mechanical properties. A base alloy of (Cu-9%Al-5%Ni-4%Fe) composition was prepared by compacting mixed powders of the constituents under a pressure of 656MPa and sintering at 950℃ for 50min in special atmosphere, then heated to 900℃ for 45min and quenched in water and then aged at 500℃ for 25min. Under the same conditions other samples of the alloy with various percentage of graphite or/and SiC additions were prepared. The effects of these additives had been studied. Machineability was represented by a tool life of a 3mm-diameter high speed steel twist drill. A maximum width of flank wear of 450μm was considered as a criterion of tool life. Three cutting speed (0.95, 1.7, 3m/min) each with three feed rate (0.1, 0.25, and 0.4mm/rev) were considered as cutting conditions. The study showed that (0.6%graphite) reduces the hardness by (11%) and the porosity by (30%), while (2%SiC) increases the hardness by (14.7%) and the porosity by (13%). Adding 0.6%graphite and 2%SiC together causes a decrease of (9.7%) in porosity and an increase of only (1.2%) in hardness. A maximum increase in tool life of (27%) was achieved with an addition of (0.6%graphite) while a maximum reduction of (29%) was recorded due to (2%SiC), but (0.6% graphite) with (2%SiC) caused an increase of tool life by (7%). | ||
